Chapter 153 Spark
Both farms, one in the northeast and one in the northwest, are in harsh environments. The weather is getting colder and colder, and when the real winter comes, there will be nothing left. Even without anyone else doing anything, several people will fall ill and collapse.

Bedding, clothing, food, and household goods are all essential necessities.

However, I've heard that the people guarding the farm there keep most of the things sent over, but I don't know if that's true.

Actually, the best thing to do is to go on the trip yourself.

Having come this far, and having finally managed to change things, if the outcome goes back to the way it was, wouldn't all our previous efforts be wasted?

After hastily finishing her meal and putting down her chopsticks, Su Ning swallowed the last bite of food, looked up at Yan Bei who was getting up to pack her things, and said, "I want to go over there on your behalf."

"What? No!"

Without a second thought, Yan Bei refused, his surprised expression replaced by a serious one.

Not to mention the reclamation farms in Northeast China, it would take seven or eight days to get there by train from southern Hunan. By the time she arrives, it will probably be snowing. Such extreme snow and hail weather is hard for people who don't live there to adapt to.

The Northwest is even more dangerous. Even though he had never been there, he had heard that the wolf packs on the grasslands could really hurt and kill people.

If she goes there, what if something happens to her, a young woman...?

"Let me finish. Uncle Yan's leg needs treatment. Even if we send the medicine over there, the people there might not be able to deliver it to them intact."

And in the future she glimpsed, the Yan Zijin family was the first to die after Yan Ziyu.

Thinking back to how Yanbei, after receiving the news almost simultaneously, went completely mad and disregarded everything else…

"Do you want to see your father crippled?"

"I do not want."

Yan Bei shook his head firmly. He didn't want to see his family suffer, but that didn't mean he would let his beloved push someone out into danger just to please him.

She's right, people have to go to both places anyway, but it's not necessary for her to go.

Even in its current state, the Yan family is one of the top families in Shanghai. How could they not have one or two trusted confidants?
"Su Ning, you just need to prepare the medicine and supplies for me, and I will find someone I trust to take them over."

Seeing his resolute attitude and decision, Su Ning nodded without saying anything more, but sighed inwardly: she only hoped that things would develop in a positive direction and that the Yan family could rewrite their predetermined fate.

Grandpa Yan and his wife should arrive tomorrow, so let's focus on the present first.

"Any news from the Fu family?"

"Jiaming and the others haven't arrived yet; they'll probably have to wait until tomorrow night."

Uncle Fu's head injury was too severe; he was only briefly conscious twice. As for his elder brother, his tendons in his hands and feet were severed, and he wouldn't be able to get out of bed for the time being.

Zhang told her all of this; he goes to the hospital to get checked out whenever he has free time after work these days.

It's true that with two members of the family falling ill and another one missing, even if Ma Xiuzhen, a woman, were to hold on alone, she couldn't manage it all.

Ever since learning about the relationship between the Yan and Fu families and her, Zhang Qi has naturally lent a hand whenever he could.

He even took over and helped with Fu Qianqian's funeral arrangements.

Knowing this, Su Ning was also very moved, because the Zhang family treated everything related to her, big or small, as if it were their own business.

The fact that they treated her like family was enough to move people.

"The eldest brother of the Fu family's fiancée went to break off the engagement and caused quite a scene in the hospital ward."

"Ren Xuan?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Yan Bei's eyes, but he wasn't surprised. When Jia Dan got engaged, the Yan family, as the groom's relatives, had all gone to attend.

Especially since Grandpa and Grandma were Fu Shu's elders, they naturally gave the Ren family and Ren Xuan a lot of good things.

He had overheard the conversation between the Ren family mother and daughter and had advised Jia Dan on how to handle it.

However, for Fu Jiadan at that time, it seemed that it didn't matter who his future wife was, so he didn't care too much.

The two talked without neglecting their work.

After washing the dishes and putting them away in the cupboard, they began to work together to lift the furniture in the yard and move it into the dilapidated house through the newly opened back gate.

The village didn't have electricity yet, and the paths at night were either gravel or muddy, making them very difficult to walk on.

Therefore, the two moved very slowly, trying to walk as steadily as possible.

Back and forth, talking, I didn't feel too tired.

The Su family's ancestral home was near the foot of the mountain, and this dilapidated house was indeed located at the foot of the mountain.

When Su Ning stepped on something soft yet different from mud, he stiffened, and goosebumps erupted all over his back.

Almost instinctively, she dropped the chair in her hand, jumped three feet high on the spot, and screamed out loud, her face pale.

"what!"

She feared nothing but ghosts and snakes. Thinking of the things on the ground, Su Ning's mind went completely blank with terror. When she came to her senses, she was already clinging to someone like a koala: her arms wrapped around his neck and her legs wrapped around his waist.

Upon hearing her cry, Yan Bei, who was walking in front, dropped what he was holding at the same time as her, turned around without thinking, and rushed to her side.

But what happens next...

Looking at the person clinging tightly to him from head to toe, Yan Bei's hands were stiff, completely unsure whether he should hold the person tighter or just lie still.

My heart was pounding like a drum, and my face was burning hot and flushed.

It felt like an eternity had passed, yet also like only a few seconds, before I finally found my voice again.

"What...what happened?"

"Snake! There's a snake!"

Trying to calm himself down, Yan Bei took a deep breath and tried his best to ignore the faint fragrance that was unique to her as he tried to smell it. He put one arm around her back and groped for the flashlight that he had thrown away in his haste.

When I picked up the flashlight, I first shone the dim light on her legs and feet. Only when I didn't find any bite marks did I feel relieved and turn to look at the spot she was pointing to.

On the pile of grass on the ground, there was indeed a patch that was different from the yellowish-green color, and had a silvery sheen with python patterns.

Yan Bei cautiously stepped forward and used his toe to pick it up and examine it. Just as he had expected, it was indeed the skin shed by a large snake.

He gently patted her back, his tone unusually tender, "Don't be afraid, it's just a snakeskin."

"Snake skin?"

"Yes, it's not a snake."

Even a real snake would have been scared away by the sheer ferocity it displayed earlier.

Slowly lifting his head from behind his shoulder, Su Ning breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the thing in the flashlight beam was motionless.

"…Excuse me."

She slid off him quickly, her thigh accidentally brushing against something, causing Yan Bei to let out a muffled groan.

She herself was practically fuming with rage, wishing she could dig a hole in the ground with her feet and crawl into it.

"I…"

"It's nothing, cough~"

Yan Bei's ears were so red they were almost bleeding. As if to cover something up, he quickly turned his back, picked up the table and chairs on the ground, cleared his throat, and continued, "Su Ning, you should take the flashlight. I have night vision and can see clearly ahead."

"All right."

Because of this minor accident, the rest of the moving process was unusually quiet.

Even a casual glance could make both of them blush inexplicably. This slightly eerie atmosphere only returned to normal after they had moved all their belongings and left home, when their calm and rationality finally returned.

"Grandpa Yan and the others should arrive tomorrow. You should rest well today and don't let the two elders worry."

"it is good."

With a bed and a change of clothes, and no longer smelling that odor, he should be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.

Yan Bei had just finished replying "okay" and escorted her to the small gate in the backyard. "Su Ning."

"Ok?"

It wasn't appropriate to shine a flashlight directly into someone's face, so I could only see his blurry outline in the dim light.

Su Ning, sensing that he wanted to say something, felt a sudden pang in her heart, and unconsciously raised her hand to cover her chest.

how come?
I have this feeling…

"Suning, could you..."

"Not at the moment."

Before he could finish speaking, Su Ning interrupted him, her heart suddenly racing to a frightening degree.

Regardless of whether what he didn't finish saying was what she thought... she subconsciously wanted to back down.

"It's late, let's talk about it tomorrow, I'm going home now."

She needs to calm down and think things through.

Watching her departing figure, I slammed the courtyard gate shut with a bang.

Yan Bei silently withdrew his outstretched hand, touched his nose, and raised the corners of his mouth: What did Ning Ning think I was going to say?

He might not have to wait too long, right?
